Loot Shoot Lane – A Blizzard Fancast

Some friends like to get together for a pizza once in a while – We’re not those kind of friends. Instead of the pizza we decided to start a passion project revolving around our favorite game developer. This is Loot Shoot Lane a fancast dedicated to Blizzard Entertainment. If you think we’re fan boys, you’re probably right. Hosted by Cade & Matte, you can write into the show via lootshootlane@ninjapancake.com or follow us on Twitter @LootShootLane

Well I’ll be damned if LSL isn’t back after a slightly extended holiday break. Planned to be back last week but medical emergencies happened. Jump right on in and listen to 100% appendix free Diablo talk this week starting with Neo’s experience of the Darkening of Tristram. After that there’s a discussion of how season 9 is going for the duo. Neo enjoyed playing Witcher 3…. Toons most certainly did not. Some minor news on HoTS as Toons tried and failed to play 30 games with friends. Ragnaros finally got his nerf but is still fun to play. There was a bit of WoW discussion that went on. For Overwatch the Christmas holiday event is done and both Neo and Toons got their hands on some decent skins and enjoyed some shooting with their friends.

Hey, it’s like we’re almost on a schedule! Don’t get too terribly used to it though. We, Neo and Toons, are back to discuss our favorite topic: Blizzard Entertainment. While neither of us have played Diablo recently, one of us did recently get baptized in cards via the world of Hearthstone. Not feeling safe about it? We assure you, it’s very safe. Overwatch and some Christmas skins are on our minds and we find out Neo really wants a velour track suit. It’ll play to all of his Italian roots. If Neo actually had a mobster name it’d be: Ol’ Neo Box’a’Saltines we’re pretty sure. See you next time!

Hey and welcome back to Loot Shoot Lane! Toons is a little under the weather this episode but bravely soldiers on for your listening benefit. This week we’re giving you Part 2 in our “So, You Wanna Be a Diablo Player?” series. This is the Diablo Part 2 we talked about last week! We’re covering another chunk of basic advice for players who recently have found the game and made it to level 70. Don’t forget, if you did it on your own, that’s good for you. If you had someone power-level you, make sure to thank them. Also — Always tip your server. That’s general life advice. We give you some of our experience with the high points of building towards a better end game experience and more. Neo also updates us in the wonderful world of HoTS and we round it all out with a brief status update on Overwatch. A lot like that status update you did on Facebook but way less passive aggressive. We look forward to the next installment but in the mean time, keep those e-mails coming in. We’re here to assist via methods of reaching us below!

We sincerely hope you were prepared for a lot of Diablo talk. Seriously, all of the Diablo talk you could ever handle. This is a special episode about Diablo Part 1. In other show related news that won’t surprise you: Neo plays a lot of Heroes of the Storm. We sort of figured you wouldn’t be surprised by that if you’ve been listening a long for a while. There’s some derailment in this episode as well as Toons talks about other games and tells Neo to get back on track. We’ve been told you enjoy that sort of thing and Neo enjoys rambling like an old man. Just like Deckard Cain! A Diablo related fourth wall break in a show fourth wall episode description break?! We round it all out with more Overwatch, Sombra and Season 3 discussion. See you next time for more talkies!

Hey we’re finally back, stay a while and listen! We reunite for some general chatter about the worlds we love created by the developer we adore. Neo has some updates about Heroes of the storm, in which we discuss why Horde rules and Alliance drools… or something and apparently Neo is stoked about some big fire dude. Then per usual we jump into Sanctuary and discuss the upcoming content. Toons talks about being able to do T10, no big deal or anything. We round it all out with the all new hotness in Overwatch and somehow manage to not discuss how cool Sombra’s haircut is.

Good news everybody! It’s right before Blizzcon, we’re finally back, and it’s a freestyle LSL! We’re giving you a Blizzcon Preview! We talk a bit about what we’ve been playing and then… in a shockingly unique and original move for a Blizzard focused podcast, I mean you’ll never see it coming… we talk about Blizzcon! BUT we do it in that Loot Shoot Lane style of offtracking and sidetracking and downtracking and all manner of not staying on topic. Also Neo was really tired and stayed up too late to do the episode and is officially a Zombie. At least being part of the forsaken he can now dedicate his new unlife to the banshee Queen. Toons probably mentions something about vaping, or clouds and at the end of the episode we announce a giveaway! Such excite, much code. We’ll be getting back to you after all the amazing announcements at Blizzcon (HD Lost Vikings Remake) until then, please subscribe follow like review rate and other things people on YouTube and Podcasts generally nag you about… We’re kidding, thanks for all the support!

We’re back to our standard duo this episode as Neo and Toons start off with what the future might hold for Diablo. Blizzard has finally learned to balance their games evenly. In HoTS news: Toons actually played and some heroes got nerfed (read: tuned) and Brawl is on the PTR. Overwatch came out with a Halloween update including new skins, which we love, and a pve style brawl that’s super fun. Neo loves Fall so he enjoys all this. We still don’t like the ranked rating system though. Also: Neo loves fall.
